What would happen if I don't get a crown on my root canal after 6-8 weeks?

Asked By:sarahhovo

It's been at least 7 weeks since I've gotten my root canal temporary filling. I have to get my crown on next. During the 6-8 weeks, I had to make an appointment with my doctor. Sadly, I was on vacation for awhile. I'm only 16 and I know I'm young for a root canal. My next appt is supposedly in October and it's August. What can happen to my temporary filling after those 8 weeks? I have a feeling lots of pain will be involved. It's such a long time and I'm worried.
